Midwest Book Review, June 2015: "informed and informative ... thoughtful and thought-provoking ... inherently fascinating read ... deftly crafted ... very highly recommended for both community and academic library ... collections";
The Journal of Military History, January 2016: "This is a fascinating, original biography of a World War II artillery officer in the Pacific War and his family’s lives on the home front.... Rarely do we meet such sexual frankness and emotional pathos as are presented in these family letters...a superb job...an excellent job of providing the historical context of the events of Wilber’s War”.
Foreword Reviews, Fall 2015 (Five hearts rating): "Hale Bradt relates a story that could resonate with the multitude of families who also sacrificed a father, a husband or son [to war]."
